Emma
by Kate Hamill
Based on the novel by Jane Austen
Directed by Tom Quaintance
October 22 -november 9, 2025
Emma Woodhouse is clever, educated, and energetic… and about to go mad with idleness. In a time when respectable ladies are expected to sit quietly at home, Emma desperately longs for projects—and prides herself on matchmaking, much to the chagrin of her friend Mr. Knightley. But where Emma’s considerable energies focus, screwball comedy follows! A fresh and funny new take on a treasured classic.

Run Time: 2 hours and 25 minutes with one 15-minute intermission
Audience Recommendation: “Emma” is entertaining for the whole family, but best suited for ages 8+.
Content Advisory: Flashing and rapidly changing lights but not strobe lights. Live band and foley that are designed to be surprising. Sexual suggestive content.
